I never really ever saw the appeal to continue to advertise for a manufacturer ..Yep its a bmw or a harley or a ford ....Please explain why the need to festoon our boxers with badges? Does a bike run better when its covered with stickers ..." we dont need no stinking badges " IMHO stu

That's why we all are different...some bikes get stickers...the others do not.
Some folks peel all manufacturer logos off all their stuff...I'm not one of them.

And my GS does seem to run better covered with stickers ( I'd have a sarcastic smilie of some sort here, but they are not working today!)

Occasionally I go to big biker events like Daytona Bike Week. There are outlaw souvenir venders every where. That's where I get a lot of my BMW patches and pins. Ain't nothin like dealin with the black market. No worry about what's legal or copyrighted. Cash talks and you no what ....... . Some years, I grow a beard and I go to Bike week as a biker. Usually take my oldschool '74 R90. It's black and it matches all my black leather that is liberally festooned with lots of patches and pins. I hang out at the biker bars on Main and the newer bigger venues out off I 95. Hang out with them all week. I've gone back the next year as a Euro motorcylist to the same bars, with the same bikers , this time shaved and in my 'Stich, full helmet. They don't even recognize me, untill I tell'em it's me.
